Thread: May have broken it.

  1. #1

    Default May have broken it.

    Hi all, my car is currently spluttering like you wouldn't believe and I think it's the plugs and was hoping you guys had tried different ones?
    If so what would you suggest?
    Thanks in advance!

    Absolutely nothing! I started driving it today and it just began spluttering randomly and that's about as much as I know.
    I'm suspecting it's a plug but I'm not overly sure!
    And it's been fine for months with the mods.

    It will be something simple, e.g. a loose hose as already suggested.

    Get under the bonnet and start looking.

    I know missy and I believe brad said "famous last words" haha.
    It doesn't do it on boost either so it's only at low rpm's!
    I've had a look and I can't see anything yet!

    Mine was doing the same thing a few weeks ago, I couldn't free rev it without it coughing and spluttering, let alone get the car out of the driveway, unplugged and replugged the MAF sensor connector and all was well.

    Another area to check is the hose clamp for the intake (near the ECU loom), for some stupid reason certain aftermarket intake kits are being supplied with t-bolt clamps, these are migrating during driving and start rubbing against the ecu loom, causing electrical faults once they wear through the wiring.

    I'd say "drive to me and I'll have a look", but, it may not be an option for you.

    It still drives ok once you're giving it a bit, just at low rpm it's a tad tricky!
